Table 1. Activity of efflux pumps and half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of Dox and DoxAu for feline fibrosarcoma cell lines (FFS1WAW, FFS1, FFS3, FFS5).
cell line | IC50 Dox (μg/ml) | IC50 Au-GSH-Dox* (μg/ml) | Activity of efflux pumps (after inhibition with 10 μM and 20 μM verapamil) |
---|---|---|---|
FFS1WAW | 69.66 | 30.617 (p<0.05) | 53 |
FFS1 | 35.39 | 2.815 (p<0.001) | 385 |
FFS3 | 18.09 | 2.567 (p<0.001) | 541 |
FFS5 | 8.67 | 10.218 (p = 0) | 0 |
